ASCAP Registration #: 928994941 Remember when it was all in the family?Let’s take a look back at what used to beGimme a beat… I recall the sounds of Led Zeppelin, highSongs that lifted us up unto the very skyWe were young and free, with no need to ask whyThose were the days When labels didn’t matter, we just felt aliveMen and women stood united, side by sideWe looked up to leaders who inspired our prideThose were the days Change, it came, with it, a new stridePeople helping others was our noble guideWe worked together and were on the same sideThose…were…the…days!

Pure Seed: Resilience
zero is not a number but one is. infinity lives between -1, 0, and 1. movement is the reaction regenerative. universal reality is a mesh of fractal fabric. we are a part, never apart. act. breathe. dance. live. move. we walk a path into the stars; as for long and long told by ancients; our only work is to assure the future. snarled in recursion, we must again adapt. it is already happening, the abrasion, it is already happening, the abjuration, this butterfly tsunami on the hill; placid, vacuous smiles, ‘oh, so pretty’. get thee to the library, the local […]
The top of the year, 2025
It seems that 2025 is to be ‘the year of missing’ on many levels. Wait. I’m getting ahead of myself. Let’s start again: For many years, I would end each year with a renewal of my commitments and within the first month of the new year, set forth the pattern as it thus far unfolds. From there, as I like and wish, and spottily, I admit. Indeed, 2025 has all the signs of being a year of missing in many ways. Initially, I was somewhat enjoying the return of the wood snake; the sign is generally well received though it […]

Eugenics in ABA, Sub-humanization
In case anyone missed it, ‘… they are not people in the psychological sense.” (sic) being the sub-humanizing and the remainder of the eugenic philosophy resting in the ‘right’ to ‘…build the person’ without considering or consent of the person so being ‘built’. Since they do not consider the patient as a person, and they do not consider the being as ‘human’ enough to require consent, the operant conditioning continues apace. Herein rests all harm and much of it well attested by adults of the now three generations who have endured this “treatment”. The remainder of my thoughts, recorded herein, […]
Definitely done.
I have cut contact/relation with many people in my life, and not one time was the choice an easy or enjoyable one. Inevitably, it came down to whether or not the person in question was willing to accept and care for me as well as they demand I accept and care for them. Inevitably, the person in question asked more of me than they were, themselves, willing to give, and all discussion foundered unless I was willing to accept this as ‘how it would be’. I wasn’t willing with them, back then, just as I’m unwilling today, with you. For […]
Title track: Demagogue In A Toupee
In the halls of power, a clown takes the stageA would-be king, naught but ego and rageHe spoke of greatness, but brought only shameHe is dividing us, with his hate-filled game Donald J Trump, a man unfit to leadConvictions piling up, worst kind of a bad seedA danger to democracy, a threat each and every dayWe need a leader, not a demagogue in a toupee He lied about his scandals, about his payoffs, tooAbout the wall, about the debt, about what he would doHe used his power to enrich himself and friendsWhile leaving the people behind, he has no defense […]
